This year is my year of travel...at least two destinations before 2010. I am not looking forward to the over-time.
I have decided...if you like to travel, have your own money, and your own piece of mind, and of course if we click on a friendly level...maybe we can get out into the world and see some thangs! I will no longer limit myself to my community and what it doesn't have to offer. I relish spontaneity! You DIG?
So here is a poem I wrote for yall to get to know a lil bit bout me...I call it WOMAN.
WOMAN...in an idiom: To be free from restrictions, control, or dictatorial influence; be independent.
...in an adjective: Female, of women; womanly
...in a noun: The nature, characteristics, or feelings often attributed to women; womanliness
Independent to the tenth power
Petty conversation, I devour.
Those without experience, need not apply,
Self-confidence and intelligence, in heavy supply.
Not enough time for childish games, Too many applicants, to remember names.
Thugs and pimps, take a right.
No space available for players tonight.
No sex on the beach or long island ice tea,
A little more sophistication to drink with me.
Secure with good credit, don't need a co-signer,
Not one man with great stature, could be my definer.
Possessor of essence with a twist of finesse,
No past baggage to get off my chest.
Jealous or possessive, don't bother past this line,
Liars and cheaters are no friends of mine.
I am a WOMAN, so come correct!
No tolerance for ignorance, or disrespect!

Things I've learned and LIVE by...
~~~One of the many things I have learned in LIFE is that DENIAL is self-destructive. When you face your demons, you are that much closer to healing yourself. Anything less than that is the choice to be and/or stay a victim to your circumstances. Don't choose to live your life in fear. I say, fucc FEAR, literally!!!!!!!~~~word to the unwise
"POETRY IS NOT A TURNING LOOSE OF EMOTION, BUT AN ESCAPE FROM EMOTION;
IT IS NOT THE EXPRESSION OF PERSONALITY, BUT AN ESCAPE FROM PERSONALITY.
BUT, OF COURSE,ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE PERSONALITY AND EMOTION
KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO WANT TO ESCAPE FROM THESE THINGS." - emily dickinson (1830-1886)
"WE, THE UNWILLING, LED BY THE UNKNOWING, ARE DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE, FOR THE UNGRATEFUL.
WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH, FOR SO LONG, WITH SO LITTLE, WE ARE NOW QUALIFIED TO DO ANYTHING WITH NOTHING." - author unknown
...i feel this was the plight of my sister and brother slaves, what do you think? Please feel free to share your thoughts on this piece.
ABOUT ME:
~Have sense of humor, mostly serious...(meaning just a REAL person who keeps it REAL 24/7)

I was born on Valentine`s Day some 30yrs. ago! Needless to say, I`m a big sweetheart and full of affection. I have been there and done that, no games, no insults please. If you have some poetry to share or lines to drop, feel free. Keep it respectful and right back atcha! BULLCHITTERZ take a LEFT!
*ALERT*
Folks who live their lives as a hustle, turn me OFF completely...You can't go very far on scams and others favors, accountability and self-preservation go a LONG way...So come to the table with YOURS and maybe, just maybe we might connect on some levels...I only expect grown folk to understand where I'm coming from with this. When I say grown I mean by experience and wisdom, not by numbers, youngins!
~Shout out to all my CV peeps, CV pa vida! Un amor!
~Shout out to all the beautiful sistas out there, don't put up with it, don't settle for it, your better than IT!
~See pics of me n the two men in my life...my son is 13 yrs. old, and he's still my BABY! To my hunny, I luv you and thank God for you every day I wake up! CIAO!
~~One more thing I've learned this year...when you are "mixed" like me, there is no such thing as ETHNICITY. I just found out that not only am I Cape Verdean and Native American, but I am also French, Portuguese, and Jewish...go figure. So, with that said, I pray we as a BLACK NATION learn to look past features and just embrace and enjoy the diversity we all bring to the table.
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me! ~~ in the words of Jill Scott
What do they call'em....homo thugs? I am so gay friendly that I have to say this!!!!!!!!!! LET a SISTA know, you may be surprised at her take on the subject. Don't be selfish and worse, careless about your secret life(style).
I had a friend once (male) who was too pretty to be gay, for lack of better words. He was confused about his preferences, so he kept going back and forth. It came down to the fact that it intrigued him to be with a man, but he still enjoyed the softness of a woman. He... (continue reading)
